“…These characteristics accord with the landscape attributes of northern parks [33,46]. This type of park landscape was suggested to fulfill people's needs to enjoy the atmosphere near waters and feel the release of stress [17,47]. Jinji Mountain Park and Fuzhou Forest Park were two typical mountain-type hotspots with a complete construction of various trail facilities that can offer people a visual experience with lush greeneries.…”

“…GBSs often provide accessibility to neighboring green spaces (GSs) for a special group of people or in certain types of ecosystem services [15,16]. The fragmentation of the urban green space (UGS) is widespread in rapidly urbanizing areas [17,18], which leads to a continuous reduction in ecosystem service capacity. Landscape fragmentation can also lead to an imbalanced trade-off of supply and demand (SAD) for ecosystem services (ESs) [16,19] and a mismatch between landscape space and type [20].…”

A sustainable urban park should have balanced green space (GS) supply and demand (SAD). A knowledge gap exists to reveal parameters that can indicate the relationship between the supply of GS services and the demand of public health needs. In this study, three primary indicators and 12 secondary indicators were selected to build a comprehensive evaluation system on SAD in the GSs of 14 parks along the “Luck Greenway” in Fuzhou. Parks were categorized and assessed for their ecological service functions, public health demands, and current public health needs. Remote evaluation and field survey were both used to collect data for quantifying functional supply and needs, respectively. It was found that factors, such as the fitness of sports service facilities, vegetation coverage, natural confluence, and mental health, impacted the comprehensive quality of supply services in urban parks. The unbalanced “multi-center” distribution of the coupled evaluation values revealed the mismatch in SAD. This study aimed to provide guidance on planning the health-promoting GS landscape by balancing SAD and maintaining ecological environment protection.

“…This methodology was used in Jiangxi for wetland parks [19] and Guangdong to detect degraded forest ecosystem services [33]. However, more studies employing this methodology have appeared to detect ecosystem services in urban parks of built-up regions of cities [52,59,61,77]. These together suggest a probability that our findings can be verified in a wider geographical range, including urban areas in Karst regions and more types of landforms.…”

“…Although theses conventional methodologies accounted for the major body of current studies, the results are still being queried for existing human errors [22] and a lack of validation [50]. The development of big data utilization contributes to the employment of facial expression scores as a gauge measuring perceptions of people in an experience with nature [51][52][53]. Inspired by this novel methodology, it was successfully used to assess ESV in wetlands at the provincial scale [27].…”

This study selected 61 parks in Guizhou province as research points and collected 3282 facial expression photos of park visitors in 2021 on the Sina Weibo platform. FireFACE v1.0 software was used to analyze the facial expressions of the visitors and evaluate their emotional perception of the landscape structure and ecosystem service value (ESV) of different landscape types of blue–green spaces. Research shows that the average ESV of green spaces in parks is USD 6.452 million per year, while the average ESV of blue spaces is USD 3.4816 million per year. The ESV of the blue–green space in the park shows no geographical gradient changes, while the happiness score in facial expressions is negatively correlated with latitude. Compared to blue spaces, green spaces can better awaken positive emotions among visitors. The ESV performance of different types of green spaces is as follows: TheroponcedrymV > GrasslandV > Shrubland V. The landscape structure and ESV of the blue–green space in the park can be perceived by visitors, and GreenV and vegetation height are considered the main driving factors for awakening positive emotions among visitors. In Guizhou, when the park area decreases, people are more likely to experience sadness. Regressions indicated that by increasing the green space area of the park and strengthening the hydrological regulation function of the blue–green space, people can achieve a more peaceful mood. Overall, people perceive more positive sentiments with high ESV in blue–green spaces of Karst parks but low ESV in shrubland.
